It’s better to do it than to say it.

Li Dingguo is a thorough pragmatist.

No one wanted to set up defenses on the city wall earlier than him.

The earlier the defense measures were arranged, the more the Ming army could take the initiative.

Give them three or five days to keep Isfahan like they do in their own city.

Fortunately, Abbas II gave them great freedom and autonomy.

This comes from full trust.

Trust this thing is precious.

Without trust, cooperation like this is simply impossible.

Liu Xingming had been to Isfahan City before and knew where the life gate of this city was.

Compared with the cities in the Central Plains, the biggest problem with these cities is that there is no Weng City.

Wengcheng is actually an area connecting the city gate, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city in the city.

Because of Weng City, even if the outer city gate was conquered at the first time, the defending side still had a great opportunity to defend the city.

It can be said that this increases fault tolerance to a considerable extent.

Of course, even in the Central Plains and the Ming Dynasty, there are Weng City.

Generally speaking, there will definitely be Wengcheng in big cities or important towns above the provincial capital.

Then there are some very important palaces.

But its proportion is not very high.

As for the prefecture city, the county town generally does not have Weng City. Not only does it have Weng City, it may not even have bricks, and it is completely rammed earth structure.

In this case, this kind of city may be worse than Isfahan City.

Of course, large-scale siege and defense battles like this would have a huge impact without Wengcheng.

This is equivalent to the Ming army missing a piece of insurance. If the outer city gate cannot be kept, the Ottoman army may have poured into the pot.

But this does not mean that this battle cannot be fought.

Li Dingguo has experienced many battles and is very clear about how to arrange it at this time.

Since Weng City is missing, you must build a Weng City as much as possible.

Li Dingguo's idea was to build a camp outside the gate of Isfahan City.

The outer edge of the camp was made of deer firewood and bricks and stones to build a chest wall. This wall did not need to be too high, but at least it must be ensured to withstand the most direct artillery fire of the Ottomans.

Only in this way can the Ming army ensure safety of life, and only in this way can Li Dingguo dare to place part of the army outside the city.

This area plays a role in Wengcheng, which can resist the attack of the Ottoman army at the first time, delay their offensive, and reduce their momentum.

The most important thing is that it can prevent the Ottomans from sieging the city with great comfort.

In addition, there is another point, that is, Li Dingguo never thought of defending himself.

People with a little experience in defending the city will know that they cannot defend the city, because this means they will face great pressure.

Once the city gates are blocked everywhere, there will be no way out of retreat on the side of the city guarding the city, and it is likely that the ammunition and food will be exhausted.

This is a situation that no city defending general needs to see.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the city gate can be opened at all times and the army can fight out at all times.

This is the most fundamental reason why Li Dingguo wanted to build a camp outside the city gate.

Only by doing this can the Ming army be targeted when facing the Ottoman army's strong attack, advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending.

Of course, it is not easy to set up a camp in this short time.

However, the Ming army was still very strong in execution. Under the leadership of Li Dingguo and a group of generals, the Ming army finally built a camp before the arrival of the Ottomans.

During this period, Abbas II personally led his confidant to inspect it because he had never seen such a style of playing.

But after he saw the state of Ming soldiers, his heart was finally able to let go.

The Ming army with such momentum should not be bullied by the Ottomans, right?

Forget it.

Anyway, this is already the case, so I'm waiting to see it.

It is natural that wars must be fought before they can see the truth.

Anyway, the Ming army and their Persian army would definitely have the advantage in the total number of people, and they had a solid city as their backing.

If you can't even hold on like this, it's really unreasonable

Heil held the reins with one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the city of Isfahan not far away.

This city is not unfamiliar to Heil, but this time he led his troops to come and felt even more unique.

If Isfahan City can be captured, it means that the kings of the Safi Empire have been defeated, which means that the Safi Empire will have to move its capital again.

This is the Safi Empire’s capital moved?

Heyer no longer remembers it.

In short, the Safi Empire was like a cowardly fool. Every time it was defeated by the Ottoman army, it would move the capital once.

As for the magnificent momentum of the Ottoman army at present, Heyer is still very confident.

"General, do you want to camp?"

The personal soldiers asked from the side when they saw the sky getting darker.

Heyer looked at the sky carefully and found that it was indeed getting late. He nodded and said, "I'll order camping. I don't have to hurry up anyway."

In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Isfahan was taken down.

There is no need to rush to attack the city while the night is dark, and it is not too late to attack the city until the next morning.

The Ottoman soldiers were very particular about camping, and the spacing between barracks and tents was almost fixed.

This can ensure that the distribution of soldiers in the entire camp is in a reasonable state.

In this case, even if the enemy attacks at night, they can respond in time without panic.

Heyer is also a veteran with more than ten years of experience in leading troops. He knows very well that he must not be in a hurry to attack the city.

They brought enough food, and as long as they took Isfahan within two months, they would definitely not lose food.

As long as you take down the city in front of you, will you still worry about having no food to eat?

So Heyer had no worries at all.

He only wants to do one thing now, that is, have a good sleep, and prepare for tomorrow's battle

The Ottoman army was at the city, and the most panicked person was Abbas II.

Although he is a very ambitious king.

But the Ottoman army is too strong.

From a distance, it is densely packed with black.

Overall, it's so scary.

But Li Dingguo, who was standing by, obviously had no intention of being afraid.

The King of Jin of the Ming Dynasty held the hilt of the knife with one hand, his eyes full of determination.

The Ming generals on the side were all full of confidence. Instead, they made Abbas II look like a coward.

He thought that he must not let go of fear in front of outsiders, so he took a deep breath and cheered up.

"What is the chance of defeating this Ming Dynasty?"

Seeing that it was Abbas II's question, Li Dingguo turned his head and said, "At least 90%.

Abbas II didn't know if Li Dingguo was bragging, but inexplicably felt that he had a clear mind.
